<h1><span class="date">1965: </span> <span class="title">Nuclear weapons tested in Aleutian Islands</span></h1>
|
|
<p>The Atomic Energy Commission begins detonating nuclear weapons on Amchitka Island, part of the Aleutian Islands of southwest Alaska. The island is currently uninhabited, but evidence of past human occupation there dates back 2,500 years. When Amchitka lacks the right geological conditions for some of the tests, the program is expanded to Nevada.</p> <!-- Theme -->
